Hint - if you send a packet *out* from the shell account, it's probably as a result of another packet going *in* to the shell account. Even the stupidest of cops can figure out that "wow - every time a packet heads out from here to the Pentagon, a split second before, a similar packet came in from some bozo on a cablemodem in Idaho. Maybe the Idaho guys need to pay this guy a visit".... Yes, you can obfuscate it with setting cron jobs and tunnelling data via covert channels and other neat tricks, but the basic point remains - if you connect *to* the shell, you're no longer anonymous, and if you don't connect to the shell, you can't use the shell.... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
